Premise

Games have never been better.

Like the films, the show typically follows people trying to escape torture chambers. JigSaw stars as the protagonist of the series.

The series is basically an animated game show or reality series, similar to Total Drama Island. Typically, at least one random guest character is shown as an animated character waking up in a torture chamber. JigSaw will then say "Hello, I want to play a game", or something like that. The guest then tries to escape the upcoming death. Along the way, the guest may meet other people and will have to help them escape. The guest character either dies or manages to escape. If managing to escape, the guest character may appear in future episode to escape again.

The first episode showed animated forms of the original writers of the show getting killed. Since then, random guests shown in episodes are usually celebrities, characters from other shows, or miscellaneous. At the end of a typical episode, JigSaw will ask the viewer to vote for the next "lucky" guest. At the airing of the next episode, JigSaw will reveal the name of the candidate.

Fandom

Saw: The Animated Series isn't as cool as its film counterparts, but it still kicks ass. The first episode of Saw: The Animated Series drew 10,500,82 viewers. As it continued to air, it rose into stardom. Today, it is possibly the most popular animated series based on a film, since Harold and Kumar: The Animated Series.

The show has thousands of adoring fans. Most of them are fans of the Saw films, people who watched violent cartoons as kids, serial killers, or people with brain damage. There have been fan-made episodes online. Some people even go so far as hoping that they, or someone they hate, would appear in an episode.

Fox Bros. Network has announced plans for a contest. Fans would get to send pictures of themselves, and Fox would pick one of them to appear in an upcoming special episode. Recently, this episode was released, featuring an emo guy as the special guest.

Cancellation and comeback

Similar to Futurama, Saw: The Animated Series was once cancelled by the morons of Fox, only to be brought back on TV by its loving fans.

On March 2, 2011, the assholes of Fox decided to cancel Saw: The Animated Series due to its graphic content, so the show was pulled out of television schedules. Instead, reruns of Dora the Executioner were shown. This caused an uproar to the show's fans.

Eventually, the fans formed a mob and threatened to destroy Fox Studios if they didn't put Saw: The Animated Series back on the air. The idiots of Fox finally admitted that cancelling Saw: The Animated Series was a retarded mistake that nearly cost Fox its life. The show returned on the air just in time for season 2 to begin. The first new episode of Saw: The Animated Series featured the jerkturds of Fox being tortured sadistically as punishment for their mistake.

“This episode hasn't aired yet” (airdate: Whenever it decides to air)

There is currently no information because this episode hasn't aired yet.

Saw: The Animated Series: The Animated Movie

A stupid idea which was quickly rejected because of the five already-existing Saw films. Maybe the guy who thought of this should be killed in an episode.
